I’ve been thinking about selling the Camaro and buying a Tacoma for that very same reason. My SxS is fine, but when you hunt 6 properties that total all 18,000+ acres and each is 20-30 minutes apart or up to an hour farthest to farthest, loading and unloading a SxS gets annoying.

We walk. I have never hunted many what i would call large properties though. One of the bigger places i have hunted they use truck/sxs's. All our stands are within a 15-20 min walk and we typically enjoy the walk.

The War Dept. wants her own rig, for when I'm out in the pasture and The Angel (my name for her, not the wife's) granddaughter wants her to take her for a ride. At first, I thought it was the wine at lunch talking, but, apparently, she's as serious as a heart attack.

I walk mostly, but when I need to fill my feeder this is what I use.

Gotta say, my old pickup, a 2011 chevy z71 was much quieter than any side by side or 4 wheeler that i have ever been around. Ive driven my wifes ford escape to the blind to drop her off a few times when it is raining. Gotta love sand, when it rains its better to drive on.

I don’t just “get around” in my rigs. Hunting and being in charge of two large leases which have almost 40 community property stands/feeders means I get to do a lot of the maintenance on the equipment. My rigs are more “lease works trucks” and are designed as such. Always remote and sometimes alone I need to be prepared so some features allow me to cheat a little.
My original black Tundra I wore completely out with all the extra weight and rough roads but it served me 10 years. I retired it by making it into a tower for a stand. It still runs but it’s first season this year they killed a 170 and a 161 so it’s likely not moving.
Next generation I went to a badly needed one ton(Chevy). Rigged out much more and really serving it’s purpose.
The old little Toyota will never die and it’s usually reserved as a muddy day truck and as a backup/loaner. It does get in on the work sometimes.
I know another long post but I can’t say things in short words like HUD.

Oh my God. I see it now. Kudus on the engineering. I’m [censored] terrified of low heights, but I kind of want to give this a ride .

For hunting, I mostly walk, but it isn’t long distances. Sometimes I’ll use the Honda ATV and if I just have to hunt when it’s raining, I’ll take the non-stealth Kubota diesel.

In OK, where I have access to 1200 acres, I use my daily driver. 2017 f150. In Tx, where we have 250 acres, I use what God gave me. Two feet...although, I do have a 4 wheeler for work too.

does the Kubota slam you through the windshield when you let your foot off the throttle?

It did until my son smashed the windshield out during a misadventure. Now if you do that there is nothing to slow you down and you end up on the ground in front of the machine. LOL. That's a 2009 - no idea if the newer hydrostatics are a little more gentle on the let off.

A neighbor lady I work for occasionally has one, a 2004 rtv900, now I'm used to our Mule where you let off the gas and press the brake and come to a smooth stop. This thing is the polar opposite. Let off the throttle and I had to use every muscle in my body to keep from going through the windshield

I agree. I wish I could find racks like that for my ATC 185 pictured earlier in this thread.

Kubota - fully enclosed with AC/Heat/stereo/hydrolic bed/dust proof/push button lift that I can raise up or down - second one I have owned and getting ready by another new one - great for south texas

You fellas need to check out a coast valve if you want to stop getting thrown through the windshield. We put one in my dad's RTV900 and it was the ticket.
